                                    33improves performance in the RAT, with participants solving more problems and responding faster under high reward conditions. However, reward sequence (Increasing vs Remain High) did not influence performance, suggesting task-specific boundary conditions for reward effects on cognitive flexibility.POSTER 65THE MAJORITY OF VIOLENT OFFENDERS IN UNITED STATES PRISONS RECEIVE NO TREATMENTAMBERLEE WEBER (JOHN JAY) In 2016, the United States spent nearly 300 billion on the carceral system. The same year, the Bureau of Justice conducted the Survey of Prison Inmates which revealed that 40% of all inmates were violent offenders. Nearly 90% of these offenders were not sentenced to treatment, and over 66% received no treatment after admission to prison. Lack of psychological care highlights a wasted opportunity for improving community wellness, reducing recidivism, and spending reductions.POSTER 66WORKING MEMORY INFLUENCES ON PARENTTEACHER AGREEMENT WITH EXTERNALIZING AND INTERNALIZING SYMPTOMSRACHEL WIKANDER (PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY), MELICA LEITES KEMANIAN (PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY), CHAOJIAN HE (PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY), KATHERINE ALL (PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY), CYNTHIA HUANG-POLLOCK (PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY) This study examined how working memory moderates agreement in parent/teacher reports of, externalizing and internalizing problems in children with and without ADHD. In a sample of 921 children with variable ADHD diagnoses, results showed that working memory significantly interacted with parent-report to predict teacher-report of externalizing symptoms, but not internalizing symptoms. Possible implications are discussed.POSTER 67WORLDVIEWS AND CONNECTIONS TO PERSONALITY AND DEMOGRAPHICSKAITLYN FERDINAND (KEENE STATE COLLEGE), BRYNN TELA (KEENE STATE COLLEGE), MAGGIE GASUK (KEENE STATE COLLEGE), SARAH BINNS (KEENE STATE COLLEGE), SHAILEE WOODARD (KEENE STATE COLLEGE) Currently, there is a lack of robust measures that look at a variety of worldview beliefs. The Unified Worldview Measure (UMW) was made to consolidate previous, discrepant worldview measures into one. In the current study, we found various connections between five previously found factors of the UWM and personality and demographic variables. Further research is needed to explore causal directions of these relationships as well as other potential moderators.POSTER 68LAW ENFORCEMENT HELP-SEEKING: INSIGHTS FROM POLICE AND THE COMMUNITY (WEST HARTFORD, CT)MARY HEALEY (UNIVERSITY OF SAINT JOSEPH), KRISTIN CISTULLI (UNIVERSITY OF SAINT JOSEPH) Two studies evaluated perceptions of mental health support for law enforcement among police officers (Study 1) and the public (Study 2) in West Hartford, CT. Results from Study 1 suggest that officers were comfortable with mental health support, especiallyamong older officers. Study 2 suggested that the community was supportive of mental health support for law enforcement. Results from both studies suggest that self-stigma was a barrier to seeking mental health support.POSTER 69VIRTUAL COLLABORATION INTERVENTION ON WORKPLACE ATTITUDES TOWARD INTELLECTUALLY AND DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED INDIVIDUALSAVROHAM ROSS (TOURO COLLEGE), CHERYL DYM (TOURO UNIVERSITY) This study examined whether a simulated, imagined collaboration reduces prejudice towards individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the workplace. Sixty-five participants underwent either educational training about IDD or a virtual collaboration scenario. A possible interaction was found where only positive prior attitudes led to positive workplace attitudes following virtual, but not educational, interventions. Future studies can explore attitude differences of individuals and how stronger simulated training can apply to real-life settings.POSTER 70MORAL ROOTS OF INTERGROUP CONFLICT: A TEST OF THE MORAL MOTIVES MODELRAMONA URRUTIA (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY), BRITTANY HANSON (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY), DANIEL WISNESKI (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY) 33Friday, March 7
